たくさんの愛を込めて
takusan no ai o komete
The English phrase "lots of love" can be translated into Japanese as たくさんの愛を込めて (takusan no ai o komete).
たくさんの愛を込めて is used as a warm closing at the end of a letter or message to show affection for the recipient. While it translates to "lots of love," it is much more dramatic and heavy than the English equivalent, often reserved for very deep, serious affection.
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase literally means "with much love contained" or "infusing much love."
How does it change in a sentence?
